Easter Delight!
Sunday, March 23rd 2008
Perfect day! Time at church and astounding worship service, lovely Easter breakfast with friends and family (still at church), then time to play with young grand-nephew and visit with niece, finally a beautiful walk together with hubby along the river and a long-distance talk with my dad (who sounds so strong after hip replacement).Officially - too much chocolate today, and wondering if I should be concerned about stalled weight loss.
Heart's Voice - joyful, joyful perfect day an...
The Week in Review!
Saturday, March 22nd 2008
Hot topics first: No weight loss this week, but inches are coming down. While I want to be satisfied with that, I took a very close look at my food and exercise diaries and found a few trouble spots. Chocolate was a regular (unnecessary) part of my snacks this week. I probably do not need to have chocolate every day. While I am doing better at avoiding artificial sweeteners, I did have a little most days. Finally, I ate "salty" yesterday, which could have affected my weigh-in...Don't be average!...

CONDIMENT DAY (catch-up)
Saturday, March 15th 2008
Good morning! It's been a pretty good week.Exercise
Met my exercise goals minutes, cardio, and strength training. Found the "magic bullet" exercise for making my hip feel so much better: stiff-legged deadlifts with dumbbells. Three days in a row now I have awakened with no hip pain, and have been able to walk and move throughout the day with little or no pain. Yippee!
I like belonging to a challenge on one of the Forums, too. Helps to keep me honest, and I ...

Did the weigh-in today. No change in weight (not surprising, given my moon cycle). Too lazy to take body measurements, so I don't know if that has changed.Picture is of my shoes. Gold boots are from a different time in my life. But they're the only boots I have left, and every once in a while in the pacific northwest I actually have need of boots. The two black pairs of shoes are my "old lady" shoes. Made for comfort and support, they make me laugh when I look at them -- ho...
